The project may include a book, a periodical, an audio book, advertising copy, a screenplay, a newsletter, music, a video file, and/or an audio file.

Abstract: A method and system of community-based project content creation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating user profiles, associating first user with a first user profile, generating project profiles, each project profile associated with at least one user profile, associating the first user with a first project profile, designating a privilege level associated with a second user profile, and generating as online project collaboration between the first project profile and the second user profile based on the privilege level. The method may also include generating community building activities. The method may also include personalizing the first user profile. The method may further include generating a search associated with the user profiles and/or the project profiles. In addition, the method may include generating a post-publishing activity associated.

Abstract: An optical device, such as spectacles or goggles, has a segmented display (3) formed in a transparent substrate by directing light from a number of light sources (15) through respective light guides (14) and reflecting the light out of the transparent substrate at the ends of the light guides (14) to form individually illuminable segments (13). The device has the advantage that an electronically-generated display can be displayed to a viewer in combination with the image transmitted through the transparent substrate simply and relatively inexpensively.

Abstract: A web-based media analysis system, consisting of automated media analysis and document management tools, which processes news articles by parsing the news contents or documents and assigning, relating, and extracting information from the news contents for media analysis and relationally storing them in at least one database. The system further comprises a toning engine for toning articles accurately, based on words, attributes and categories of the article, and optionally based on the author of the article, if applicable.

Abstract: A coalescence voice mail service provider enables a user to access all of the user's voice mail systems implemented within the various telecommunications systems the user has accounts with. Using any one of the telecommunications devices of the user, the user accesses voice mail from any one or more of the user's cell phone, home phone, work phone, PDA, home computer and work computer. A voice mail broker communicates with each of these different voice mail systems to collect voice mail messages and send messaging for manipulating such voice mail messages to and from each of the telecommunications systems. Such a system provides the user with a single interface for accessing the user's diverse voice mail systems.

Abstract: A modular scoring system using rank aggregation merges search results into an ordered list of results using many different features of documents. The ranking functions of the present system can easily be customized to the needs of a particular corpus or collection of users such as an intranet. Rank aggregation is independent of the underlying score distributions between the different factors, and can be applied to merge any set of ranking functions. Rank aggregation holds the advantage of combining the influence of many different heuristic factors in a robust way to produce high-quality results for queries. The modular scoring system combines factors such as indegree, page ranking, URL length, proximity to the root server of an intranet, etc, to form a single ordering on web pages that closely obeys the individual orderings, but also mediates between the collective wisdom of individual heuristics.

Abstract: Software application integration, including constructing an application integration adapter where the constructing is carried out in dependence upon a profile. The profile includes data describing the adapter. Embodiments include communicating integration messages among applications through the adapter. Profiles include identifications of at least two communications transports, including configuration parameters for the data communications transports. In typical embodiments, constructing an application integration adapter includes creating the transports identified in the adapter profile, and configuring the transports in accordance with the configuration parameters.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and a computer usable program code for managing versioning of a set objects in a network data processing system. A first message is sent to a plurality of data processing systems to cause the plurality of data processing systems to generate delta data for the set of objects on the plurality of data processing systems in the network data processing system in response to a first event. The delta data is stored for each object in the set of objects to form stored delta data, and the stored delta data is subsequently used to return the set of objects to a prior version. A second message is sent to the plurality of data processing systems to cause the plurality of data processing systems to restore the set of objects back to the prior version using the stored delta data in response to a second event in managing versioning of the set of objects.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and a computer usable program code for managing objects. First, versioning data and a version identifier are stored for the object in a data structure in response to a request to create a version of an object. A determination is made as to whether the object references a set of dependent objects having data upon which the object depends. Additional versioning data and the version identifier is stored for the set of dependent objects in response to the object referencing the set of dependent objects. The object and the dependent objects may be returned to a prior state using the first versioning data, the additional versioning data, and the version identifier.

Abstract: An implementation comprising displaying to a user a presentation having sequences that correspond to spoken text that are not predeterminable, combined with predetermining a set of sites in a network based upon the anticipated interest of the user of the presentation and predetermining a set of key text terms respectively corresponding to the set of sites, the selection of which terms will link the user to one of the set of sites. There is an implementation for enabling the user to select the key text terms if the terms occur in said sequences of text, combined with linking the user to the site corresponding to the selected key text term. The displayed text sequence is a corresponding audio stream of a television program or presentation.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable code for managing versioning data for objects in a virtual machine. A request to allocate an object is received, wherein the request identifies a plurality of parameters for classifying the object. An entry for the object is created in a versioning data structure using the plurality of parameters received in the request. The versioning data structure is used to store delta data for change in the data for the object and wherein the object is associated with the data structure. When a change in the data for the object occurs, the delta data is stored in the versioning data structure based on the plurality of parameters. A particular version of the object may be retrieved using the plurality of parameters.
